1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We report a case of recurrent small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix that showed a complete response to paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab (TC + Bev) combination therapy. Small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is extremely rare, with an incidence of only 1.3% in Japan, and a poor outcome. The patient was a 62-year-old woman with a chief complaint of irregular vaginal bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 10-cm irregular mass from the uterine corpus's posterior wall to the cervix. Abdominal total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and pelvic lymph node sampling were performed for suspected uterine sarcoma. Histopathological findings revealed small cell carcinoma with lymph node metastasis. Although 6 cycles of etoposide + cisplatin were performed, para-aortic lymph node recurrence was found 3 months after chemotherapy. Subsequently, the patient received 8 cycles of TC + Bev, which eliminated the metastases. The patient is currently alive at 24 months.
